They do have to handle, cut, and dispose of that tile and usually will include it in their invoice. As far as percentage waste to figure, two things should be con- sidered: the layout of the area and the pattern to be installed. One single square room usually requires very little waste, while an installation with many corridor and rooms would require more. Also a straight-lay pattern requires very little waste, while a herring- bone pattern or an installation on a 45-degree would require much more. I figure somewhere between 5 and 15% waste considering all the factors just mentioned. On a commercial project, the spec book often times calls for 5% attic stock to be left on site at completion. If that’s the case you would also want to add that on to your estimated waste amounts. – Robb Roderick, NTCA trainer/presenter ASK THE EXPERTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– KeedeRoll™ 100 The Entangled Net Uncoupling Mat Flooring Experts since 1951 www.floorprep.com 26 TileLetter | November 2016
